but they are designed to shine directly on the ground....if i was sat 3feet from you bumper then i would be a tw@t, but you wouldnt be able to see them at all!  :evil:
fogs are made not to be bright because in fog with bright lights on you cant see a thing because of the moisture in the air reflecting the light back.  :smiley:

....Somewhat off topic, but people tend to feel very strongly about fogs being on when it's not foggy. Me? There's plenty fog/sea-mist around here at times and sometimes they work as good Daylight Driving Lights at speed. I understand it's actually illegal unless foggy - Why? Only because it's a law from when fogs were great big mother-feckers which did blind you! It's about time they updated the law, and also scrapped the 70 limit - Fat chance!

some cool photos there mate.

What digi camera you got? is it an SLR or just a compact??

It is a Compact...Pentax Optio. Only has 3.2 megapixels, but I believe it is the quality of the lens and software rather than how many pixels you have :wink:

....I used to have one of those but found it just too tiny to handle. Got a Fuji FinePix F11 instead and much prefer its size (still very compact). :smiley:

I've got a Nokia N95 also with 5mp, but my compact has an optical zoom, a better flash and doesn't confuse the fcuk out of me when I go into it's settings :embarassed:

i always drive with my fogs on, looks well better at night!!  :smiley:

feel sorry for the poor people you blind then!!

Fog lights are for exactly that - driving in fog!!!!! can't stand people who drive everywhere with their fogs on!! then when it is foggy these same people don't ruddy use them!!  :angry:

Rant over lol

Ps - no offence intended Joe but its one of my top pet hates!!  :grin:

Same here mate - really pi55e5 me off no end esp. when they have them on in towns when there is really no need.  I am sometimes tempted to put my beams on when passing them on dual carriageways or motorways but usually there is a car in front and so I don't  :angry:  Another thing that really gets me even more than fogs are those tw8ts who don't know how to use a bl00dy hand break and instead blind you for 1-3 minutes with there sometimes very bright brake lights.  Whats worse is you can;t return the favour as they are in front and the traffic isn't moving.
